The water system is continuing to improve. The new storage tank is in place at the water plant and the main water lines are still in process of being upgraded. New 4" lines are being laid next the the current lines. Once all the new main lines are installed, a pressure and leak test will be performed, then the process of connecting homes to the new line will begin. Several loops are being installed to reduce the amount of chlorine needed and to allow better water circulation in the system.

HISTORY

The Village of Cankton is located on the southern border of St Landry parish in southwest Louisiana. The small community lies along Highway 93 and is a short distance from both Opelousas and Lafayette, Louisiana.

Cankton’s name originated from Dr. Louis Aristide “Cank” Guidry.  As a boy, Guidry would signal his family that he was home from a hunt by using the duck call which sounded like “Cank, cank, cank.” His family would say, "Cank est revenue.” (Cank is back) and his name stuck.
